In the Year of the Wolf

In the year of the wolf
All the world smelled good
In the snow and the ice
All the rest was bloodIn the time of the tribe
We took a thousand lives
When I ran with the wolves
And the hunting was goodSee me now, I was another
Not like me, when the wolves were brothers
See me now, you cannot know
The kind of food that made me growIt was the wolf in me
Body and soul on fire
In the cold, full moon
Blood red desireIt was the wolf in me
You know it felt so true
The night I ran with the wolves
Tonight I come for youIn the year of the wolf
How could you ever know
There in the forest
I had teeth to showIn a different time
When the world was mine
When I ran as a wolf
And the sun burned lowSee me now, I was another
Mean and vicious, fast and clever
See me now, you would not dream
The food I ate, the food that screamedIt was the wolf in me
And all my soul was fire
By the cold, dull moon
Blood red desireIt was the wolf in me
I howled the cold night through
The year I ran as a wolf
Tonight the food is youIn the year of the wolf
All the tribe ran mad
On the frozen lake
And I felt so gladWith tooth and claw
All your blood and more
When I ran with the wolves
And the hunt turned badSee me now, this is not me
Not like the one I used to be
See me now, you would not guess
A different heart raving in my chestIt was the wolf in me
When the world was cold
It was the life I lived
In the dark world belowIt was the wolf in me
Crying and howling too
I was crying for the hunt
But I was hunting for you
